Suspicious Car Detonated In Front Of Police Station Turns Out To Have Been Parked By Cops

As the terrorist threat continues to hover above many countries around the world, nothing is being taken for granted.

Not even a Vauxhall Corsa that was parked outside the Cumbria police station last week, by officers, after its ill driver was taken elsewhere.

Considered ‘suspicious,’ due to the undisclosed ‘objects’ that were laying around inside, by the police officers on overnight duty, reports Telegraph, the car was blown up the next morning, after the entire station was evacuated and the area was secured.

Having detonated the vehicle, the police officers then went on to search for those ‘suspicious objects’, but couldn’t find any, and the entire incident was eventually declared ‘an internal communication error’, by a Cumbria police spokesperson.

“Officers dealing with this morning’s incident were not aware of this, and their actions were conducted, and prioritized, with the safety of the public in mind. Following the controlled explosion, the vehicle was searched and the suspicions were negated.“

Subsequent to the hilariously awkward incident, the officers contacted the car’s owner and simply apologized.

“We have made contact with the owner of the vehicle, explained the situation, and have apologized to him“, added Inspector Ashley Bennett. “The constabulary will review this incident and will take on board any learning.“
